I'm currently upgrading a reader module from using a pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel to a using a property group widget (as per http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_Customizations_for_Properties_Panel).
I have my bunch of properties in a PropertyGroup and have a panel_widget associated with them. Everything loads up, and using printf() I can verify that the property values are all being updated. However, not only does it seems rather clunky, I cannot get the "Apply" button on the property panel to notice when the property values have been updated. Here's a basic sketch of what I have: // Get the property from the group (with down-cast): interpolateFields_ = group->GetProperty("interpolate"); // Provide a checkbox as widget for it - two-column layout. QCheckBox* b = new QCheckBox(prop->GetXMLLabel(), this); form->addWidget(b, row, col, Qt::AlignLeft); // Connect to slot: connect(b, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), this, SLOT(interpolateFields(bool))); // This is ugly, but seems to be needed??? interpolateFields_->SetImmediateUpdate(true); // And the slot itself void interpolateFields(bool checked) { interpolateFields_->SetElement(0, checked); // this->setModified(); //^^^ used to work with pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel } I used to rely on the setModified() method from the pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel, but now can't seem to get from the SMproxy to the pqProxy or whatever. Or am I going about this entirely the wrong way? FWIW, here are the relevant sub-entries from the XML, in case there is something missing there: <IntVectorProperty name="InterpolateFields" command="SetInterpolateVolFields" number_of_elements="1" default_values="1" animateable="0"> <BooleanDomain name="bool"/> <Documentation></Documentation> </IntVectorProperty> <PropertyGroup label="General Controls" panel_widget="my_reader_controls"> <Property name="InterpolateFields"/> ... </PropertyGroup> Unfortunately, the Examples/Plugins/PropertyWidgets is a bit scanty here. Thanks for any advice, /mark _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview
